General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Montgomery Building & Construction Trades Council v. Ledbetter Erection Co., Inc. No. 43 Argued November 13, 1952 Decided December 8, 1952 344 U.S. 178
CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA
Syllabus
Respondent filed a bill in equity in an Alabama state court to enjoin certain picketing activities, wholly peaceful, carried on by petitioner labor organizations. The court forthwith issued a temporary injunction. Subsequently, a motion by petitioners to dissolve the temporary injunction was denied by the trial court, and its order was affirmed by the State Supreme Court.
Held: The judgment of the State Supreme Court was not a "final" judgment within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1257, and therefore was not reviewable by this Court. Pp. 179-181.
(a) The fact that, as long as a temporary injunction is in force, it may be as effective as a permanent injunction, and that appeals from interlocutory judgments have for that reason been authorized by state legislatures and, in some circumstances, by Congress does not give interlocutory judgments the aspect of finality required by 28 U.S.C. § 1257. Pp. 180-181.
(b) Since there was no final judgment of the State Supreme Court reviewable here, the writ of certiorari which was granted in this case is dismissed as improvidently granted. P. 181.
Writ of certiorari dismissed.
